225 Recording N-Log Video
Log recording uses light levels digitized via a log function. To enable log
recording using Nikon’s unique “N-Log” log function, select [
ProRes
422 HQ 10-bit (MOV) ] or [ H.265 10-bit (MOV) ] for [ Video file type ] in
the video recording menu and choose [ N-Log ] as the tone mode.
Choose N-Log to preserve details in highlights and shadows and avoid
over-saturated colors when recording videos.
• n will appear in the shooting display.
• N-Log recording is intended for footage that will be processed using
color grading post-production. Color grading can be used to achieve
multiple effects from a single sequence by processing it in different
ways.
• Compatible third-party software is required for color grading.
• Applying N-Log 3D LUTs during color grading produces video that
displays beautifully on monitors compatible with Rec. 709.
- N-Log 3D LUTs are available from the Nikon Download Center.
